C41BBK5, This knife’s full-flat-ground blade is machined from CPM-S30V powder metallurgy stainless steel and has a durable, non-reflective Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coating. Its Spyder Edge, Cutting Edge and Plain Edge provides extreme cutting power, especially on fibrous materials.
C41BK5, the Native5 features made from premium CPM-S30V stainless steel. Its full-flat grind, distal taper, textured index-finger choil and thumb ramp, and understated swedge collectively offer a distinctive appearance and outstanding edge geometry and point utility.
The C41PPN5 eye-catching pink-handled Native 5 Lightweight offers the same high-performance reliability as our standard Native 5 Lightweight, but with the added benefit of a vibrant pink handle. Its PlainEdge blade is full-flat ground from premium CPM-S30V stainless steel. The blade’s Trademark Round Hole allows convenient one-handed opening and is supported by a highly refined back lock mechanism that offers outstanding strength and ease of use. Spyderco is very proud to support Guardians of the Ribbon/Pink Heals Tour and the "Cares Enough to Wear Pink" programs by donating a portion of the sales of our pink-handled knives to this amazing organization.
C41PDBL5,CPM S-10V is a high-alloy martensitic stainless tool steel manufactured by the Crucible Particle Metallurgy (CPM) process. This process begins with a homogenous molten bath of high-alloy steel that is forced through a nozzle under high-pressure nitrogen gas to create a spray of small spherical droplets that quickly solidify into powder particles. The small size of the particles forms micro-ingots, drastically reducing the alloy segregation in the steel and ensuring an extremely fine carbide microstructure when the powder is processed into finished steel.
C41PGY5, Native 5 Lightweight Maxamet combines the highly refined form, function, and ergonomics of our proven Native 5 Lightweight model with Carpenter steel’s state-of-the-art Micro-Melt Maxamet blade steel. Maxamet is an extremely hard high-speed powdered tool steel possessing properties that transcend conventional high-speed tool steels and approach those of cemented carbides—the ultra-hard materials used to machine other steels. When Carpenter developed this amazing alloy for the rollers in their steel mills, they sent samples to various companies in the knife industry to evaluate as a blade material.
The linerless injection-molded FRN handle features a deep Bi-Directional Texturing pattern for maximum grip security and includes four sets of threaded stainless steel inserts to mount the reinforced hourglass clip for tip-up or tip-down carry on either side of the knife and highly evolved back lock. Like the blade, together with the blade’s Trademark Round Hole and the handle’s versatile four-position pocket clip, make both the carry and operation of this extraordinary knife completely ambidextrous.
